Description
The present invention relates to new cyclodextrin derivatives, that can particularly be used to incorporate in aqueous media hydrophobic chemical compounds such as pharmaceutically active molecules, molecules with cosmetic applications and molecules used as contrast agents for medical imaging.
More specifically, it relates to amphiphilic cyclodextrin derivatives showing self-organisation properties in aqueous media and liable to be incorporated in organised surfactant systems resulting in the formation of combined systems.
Said incorporation in organised surfactant systems such as small phospholipid vesicles is intended to enable the transport of hydrophobic molecules included in the cyclodextrin, for example an active ingredient, particularly by the transmembrane route, for example the transdermal route.
Cyclodextrins or cyclomaltooligosaccharides are natural compounds formed by the sequencing of 6, 7 or 8 glucose units bonded in α-1→4 mode. Numerous studies have shown that these compounds could form inclusion complexes with hydrophobic molecules, thus enabling their solubilisation in aqueous media. Numerous applications have been proposed to benefit from this phenomenon, particularly in the pharmaceutical field, as described by D. Duchêne, in “Pharmaceutical Applications of Cyclodextrins”, published in “Cyclodextrins and their industrial uses”, Editions de Santé, Paris 1987, pp. 213-257 [1]. Pharmaceutical formulations using cyclodextrins have already been introduced onto the market in Japan, Italy and, more recently, in France, for example by Pierre Fabre Medicament for Brexin® which is an inclusion complex of Piroxicam in β-cyclodextrin.
Of the cyclodextrins that may be used, β-cyclodextrin (comprising 7 glucose units) is the most suitable in terms of the size of its cavity and is the least expensive of the three. Chemical modifications of β-cyclodextrin have been described to render it amphiphilic with a view to incorporating it in organised systems.
In this way, amphiphilic cyclodextrins comprising multiple chains on the primary face have been studied. A. Yabe et al described in “Thin Solid Films”, (1988), 160, pp. 33-41 [2], the derivative per(6-dodecylamino-6-deoxy)-β-cyclodextrin in order to form stable Langmuir-Blodget layers. Similarly, L. Julien et al described in J. Chem. Soc. Perkin Trans 2, 1993, pp. 1011-1022 [3], β-cyclodextrin derivatives comprising aliphatic chains located in primary and secondary positions, with a view to incorporating said cyclodextrin derivatives in phosphatidylcholine vesicles. Said derivatives are amphiphilic and can be incorporated in the vesicles, but the internal cavity of the cyclodextrin is no longer accessible due to the significant sterio size of the aliphatic chains. Consquently, said derivatives are unable to include hydrophobic molecules, particularly active ingredient molecules.
Recently, it was demonstrated by A. Gulik et al in Langmuir (1998), 14, pp. 1050-1057 [4], that so-called “skirted” cyclodextrins, comprising fatty acid chains grafted onto secondary hydroxyls could form stable nanospheres. These molecular super-assemblies appear to show very promising encapsulation and releasing properties due to the cumulative effects of the specificity of cyclodextrin size and transport, firstly, and nanoparticle organisation, secondly. However, it is necessary to note that the synthesis and particularly the purification of such cyclodextrins remain very difficult and require long purification steps resulting in low yields. It is clear that the supramolecular organisation properties are drastically linked with the chemical purity of the amphiphilic cyclodextrin derivatives.
J. Line et al described in FR-A-2 736 056 [5] and in J. Chem. Soc. Perkin Trans 2, (1998), pp. 2638-2646 [6], the synthesis of cyclodextrin derivatives referred to as “ball joints” comprising one or more aliphatic chains giving them amphiphilic properties, without inducing a self-inclusion phenomenon of the chain(s) in the cyclodextrin. For this reason, it is possible to obtain from such derivatives inclusion complexes containing a hydrophobic molecule and the incorporation of said complexes in phospholipid vesicles. However, these molecules have proved to be relatively unstable in physiological media, i.e. at pH values greater than or equal to 7, and their incorporation abilities in organised systems remain limited. In addition, said “ball joint” molecules do not organise themselves spontaneously in aqueous media to give particles of well-defined size and shape.
The present invention specifically relates to amphiphilic cyclodextrin derivatives, stable in physiological media, able to include hydrophobic compounds, having good incorporation abilities in organised systems and also showing self-organisation properties in aqueous media.

The derivative according to formula V obtained in this way may be separated using the methods described in detail in example 1.
In step b, the derivative according to formula V is reacted with trichenylphosphine in an organic solvent such as DMS and 20% ammonia is then added. The derivative according to formula VI obtained in this way may be purified by evaporating the solvent, eliminating the white precipitate formed by filtration and then separating by ion exchange chromatography. In step c, the derivative according to formula VI is reacted with the acid anhydride according to formula VII desired in an organic solvent such as DMF. The derivative according to formula VIII obtained is not isolated and the next step d is carried out directly in the same reaction medium. Peptide coupling reagents, such as N,N′-diisopropylcarbodiimide and hydroxybenzotriazole, are then added.

The derivative according to formula I obtained in this way may be separated from the reaction medium by evaporating the solvent and purifying by silica gel column chromatography.
If it is necessary to prepare a derivative according formula I as defined above, where R3 represents R2, the method comprises the same steps as above, but in step a, alkylation of all the OH groups is performed with an iodoalkane. In this case, the following steps are carried out:

The invention also relates to the inclusion complexes of the cyclodextrin derivative according to formula I with a hydrophobic compound in an aqueous medium. The hydrophobic chemical compounds liable to be solubilised in aqueous media by means of said cyclodextrin derivatives I may be of different types. Examples of such compounds include cosmetic products, vitamins, pharmaceutically active molecules and molecules used as contrast agents for medical imaging, for example, the compounds described by Uekama and Irie in Chemical Review (1998), 98, pp. 2045-2076 [7].
Preferentially in the invention, the hydrophobic chemical compound is a pharmaceutically active molecule. Examples of such molecules include steroids, for example prednisolone, neurotropes such as dothiepin, bacteriostatics such as chloramphenicol, vitamins such as vitamin A, vascular wall tonics such as esculin, and contrast agents for medical imaging such as 16-iodo-3-methylhexadecanoic acid.
Said inclusion complexes may be prepared using conventional methods, for example by adding to a solution or suspension of the formula I cyclodextrin used, a solution of hydrophobic compound in a suitable organic solvent, for example acetone.
The formula I cyclodextrin derivatives are characterised in that they organise themselves spontaneously in aqueous media to give nanoparticles from 25 to 30 Å of mean radius and perfectly spherical in shape. The mean number of monomers is 24 cyclodextrin derivative molecules per nanoparticle. In addition, the invention also relates to an aqueous solution of nanoparticles of a cyclodextrin derivative according to formula I alone or in the form of an inclusion complex with a hydrophobic compound.
Said nanoparticle solution may be prepared by forming an aqueous solution of the cyclodextrin derivative or an inclusion complex of said derivative having a derivative or complex concentration greater than the critical micellar concentration of the derivative.
The self-organisation of amphiphilic cyclodextrins into nanoparticles in an aqueous medium makes it possible to transport a hydrophobic molecule, for example an active ingredient, particularly by the transmembrane or parenteral route.
Moreover, the cyclodextrin derivatives according to the invention are of particular interest since they can be incorporated into organised surfactant systems such as small phospholipid vesicles or micellae. Said incorporation is intended to enable the solubilisation of organised systems, with a view to transporting active ingredients included in the cyclodextrin derivative.
In addition, the invention also relates to an organised surfactant system comprising a cyclodextrin derivative or an inclusion complex of said derivative according to the invention. The surfactants liable to form such organised systems may be of different types. Examples include the phospholipids complying with the following general formula:
-
- wherein R5 represents CH3—(CH2)p—CO where p is an integer ranging from 6 to 18. Said phospholipids are capable of forming small unilamellar vesicles. This particularly applies to dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine DMPC which complies with the above formula where p=12.
To incorporate the cyclodextrin derivative or an _inclusion complex of said derivative according to the invention in the organised surfactant system, it is possible to form small DMPC vesicles beforehand by sonication and then add in the aqueous solution the cyclodextrin derivative or the inclusion complex. The combined system obtained in this way then becomes perfectly soluble in water, resulting in a clear solution. The combined system obtained in this specific case is a combined micella of a mean radius of 60 Å.
In addition, the invention also relates to an aqueous solution comprising in solution a combined system formed from phospholipid or membrane protein vesicles, and at least one cyclodextrin derivative or at least one cyclodextrin derivative inclusion complex according to the invention.
Such solutions are beneficial since they enable the transport of hydrophobic molecules, for example an active ingredient, by the transmembrane or parenteral route, for pharmaceutical or cosmetic applications.
The invention's other characteristics and advantages will be seen more clearly upon reading the following examples, which are naturally illustrative and not exhaustive, with reference to the appended FIGS. 1 to 5.

The characteristics of this compound are as follows:
-
- Thin layer chromatography (Merck Silica Plates) Rf=0.50 in the 9:1 (v/v) CH2Cl2—MeOH mixture, detection with 10% H2SO4.
- Mass spectrometry: ESI-MS: m/z=1805.95 [M+Na]+ for C86H146 N2O36Na.
- NMR 1H (500 MHz, 25° C., 7 mM solution in CDCl3): attribution by COSY and relay COSY experiments: δ=6.49 (NH CD), 5.70 (NH Chol), 5.38 (H-6 Chol), 5.28-4.88 (H-1, OH-3 CD), 4.11 (H-3 Chol), 3.99-3.16 (H-2, H-3, H-4, H-5, H-6, H-6′, OCH3 CD), 2.60-2.48 (CH2 succ, H-4 Chol), 2.04-0.68 (H Chol).
The mono-6-(cholest-5-en-3α-ylamide)succinylamide-6-deoxy-2,2′,2″,2′″,2″″,2′″″,2″″″,6′,6″,6′″, 6″″,6′″″,6″″″-trideca-O-methyl-cyclomaltoheptaose nanoparticles are prepared simply by forming an aqueous solution of this cholesteryl-cyclodextrin at a concentration greater than its critical micellar concentration cmc.
The cmc of the cyclodextrin in example 1 was determined with surface tension measurements. The value of the cmc is 9.10−6 mol/l.
The mean hydrodynamic diameter of the nanoparticles was measured by quasi-elastic light diffusion. The mean diameter MD value calculated according to the Stokes-Einstein approximation based on the interaction-free perfect sphere model is 0.6 nm (60 Å). The static light diffusion analysis of aqueous solutions of nanoparticles at different concentrations (2.5.10−3, 5.10−3 and 10−2 mol/l) gives a mean aggregate mass of 43,000 g/mol, which is equivalent to a mean of 24 monomers per nanoparticle.
The perfectly spherical shape and the size of the nanoparticles were confirmed by neutron diffusion. The diffusion spectrum obtained from a 10−2 mol/l solution in D2O of the cyclodextrin derivative in example 1 is represented in FIG. 1 (spectrum 1).
In FIG. 1 , the theoretical spectra simulating spheres (spectrum 2), cylinders (spectrum 3) or lamellae (spectrum 4) formed from the cyclodextrin derivative in example 1, at a concentration of 10−2 mol/l in D2O, are also shown. Superimposing spectrum 2 simulating spheres with experimental spectrum 1 proves the spherical shape of the cholesteryl-cyclodextrin aggregates. These aggregates are lined on the surface with cyclodextrin cavities available for the inclusion of hydrophobic active molecules, the core being composed of cholesterol groups. The theoretical spectrum simulating spheres gives a mean diameter of 0.5 nm (50 Å) and a mean number of monomers per nanoparticle of 24.
An aqueous 15.10−3 mol/l DMPC solution is prepared either in the form of multilamellar large vesicles MLVs, or in the form of small unilamellar vesicles SUVs, by following the preparation protocols described for example in “Liposomes: a practical approach”, R.R.C. New Ed., IRL Press, Oxford University Press, 1990 [11]. To the DMPC MLV or SUV suspension, the cyclodextrin in example 1 is added such that the final cyclodextrin concentration in the aqueous cyclodextrin/DMPC mixture is 0.5.10−3 or 2.5.10−3 mol/l.
The different mixtures are examined by 31P NMR spectroscopy at 81 MHz.
The existence of small unilamellar DMPC vesicles in tube a is confirmed on the spectrum in FIG. 3 by the presence of two very thin peaks at around 0 ppm corresponding to the phosphors located inside and outside the vesicles.
The spectrum in FIG. 4 , which corresponds to sample d, which is perfectly transparent, is reduced to a single thin peak centred at 0 ppm, indicating the presence of smaller aggregates than the unilamellar vesicles in tube a. The spectrum corresponding to the “control” tube b indicates the formation of larger vesicles than the initial vesicles. There is no reorganisation of the medium with this cyclodextrin.
In tube c, the quantity of cyclodextrin according to the invention is too low with reference to the quantity of DMPC to produce a transparent solution as in tube d. A two-phase mixture is obtained.
The mean hydrodynamic diameter of the combined aggregates in sample d was measured by quasi-elastic light diffusion. The mean diameter MD value calculated according to the Stokes-Einstein approximation based on the interaction-free perfect sphere model is 13 nm (130 Å).
Sample d was then examined by neutron diffusion.
To an aqueous solution of mono-6-(cholest-5-en-3α-ylamide)succinylamide-6-deoxy-2,2′,2″,2′″,2″″,2′″″,2″″″,6′,6″,6′″, 6″″,6′″″,6″″″-trideca-O-methyl-cyclomaltoheptaose nanoparticles obtained as in example 2, the hydrophobic compound is simply added either directly, or in solution in a suitable organic solvent, for example acetone, which is allowed to evaporate slowly in air.
Various hydrophobic active molecules were tested and proved to be capable of forming inclusion complexes with the cyclodextrin in example 1. In this way, 16-iodo-3-methylhexadecanoic acid, a fatty acid used as a contrast agent for medical imaging, which had already been solubilised in cyclodextrins, as described in FR-A-2 726 765 [12], was solubilised in an aqueous medium by forming an inclusion complex.
-
- the solution of nanoparticles of cyclodextrin according to example 1 and the fatty acid (1:0.5 eq. mol) (spectrum 9);
- the solution of nanoparticles of cyclodextrin according to example 1 and the fatty acid (1:1 eg. mol) (spectrum 10); and
- the solution of nanoparticles of cyclodextrin alone (spectrum 11).
In this figure, the theoretical spectrum (spectrum 12) simulating spheres has also been represented.
In this figure, it can be seen that the incorporation of fatty acid molecules in the nanoparticles of the cyclodextrin according to example 1 results in marked modifications on the diffusion spectra. The intensity I(q) is increased. The Intensity I(q) is proportional to the volume of nanoparticles. The presence of additional molecules (fatty acid molecules) in the nanoparticles increases the value of the contrast and therefore the intensity.
The incorporation in mono-6-(cholest-5-en-3α-ylamide)succinylamide-6-deoxy-2,2′,2″,2′″,2″″,2′″″,2″″″,6′,6″,6′″, 6″″,6′″″,6″″″-trideca-O-methyl-cyclomaltoheptaose nanoparticles of the following hydrophobic compounds:
-
- dothiepin (neurotrope),
- chloramphenicol (bacteriostatic),
- vitamin A, and
- esculin (vascular wall tonic),
- were also detected by neutron diffusion.
